That is the popular hit list off of the top of my head. You will see most of this stuff go bad inside of 150K. Some of it will and some of it won't and I am sure there will be other things that are not on the hit list. As far as the transmissions and drive trains go we never experienced a great deal of failure with them, not that I have not replaced them in the past because I have. I would stay away from the first couple of year models for sure, especially the first year model. '95 is not too bad in that it is a little later but not so late that you have all of the OBD II b.s. to deal with.
